A deposition seems like they are forcing you to testify against yourself. I see some of these deposition videos where it goes on for days. 6 hours a day. It seems like torture. Why can't a person refuse to attend a deposition?
What if you had to remind the Defense of them not taking your deposition through your lawyer that the days were running out before the deadline passed according to scheduling order...They cancelled mine last year, after that I did a IME with their Psychiatrist and then they almost let the time run out before eventually completing my deposition.
I have a question I hope you can answer for me, please. My house caught fire in July 2021, due to my refrigerator sparking a fire that went into a fire in my house. Apparently the insurance company is filing a claim against the refrigerator company and they want me to give a deposition. What does this mean for me and what would this kind of deposition entail?
Here is the best way to handle any deposition. When being sworn in, you are asked if you are going to tell the truth, say NO. there is no law requiring you to swear to tell the truth. Wait for trial to tell your story.
Another industry that needs to be exposed and dismantled

Counsel, is your client lying? If he/she is not lying then what is the problem???
